How Does Exocytosis Affect Toxicological Responses?
Exocytosis affects toxicological responses by regulating the release of cellular substances, including toxins. When cells encounter toxic compounds, they may use exocytosis to expel these substances, thereby reducing their intracellular concentration and mitigating potential damage. Moreover, the process is crucial for the secretion of inflammatory mediators and other molecules that can influence the body's response to toxins.
